Maybe it’s just because I have an unprecedented two days in a row off (yesterday and the glorious stretch of freedom that lies ahead of me today). Maybe it’s the fact that it’s been bright and sunny but a still a little too cold to do much outside. Maybe it’s that I’ve started a small…

Just this week, thanks to a boost in my finances due to tax returns, I was finally able to get a new pair of headphones; the ones I’ve used before had completely ceased to work. For me, this was practically a tragedy. Whenever I go anywhere, I like to have my music with me, especially…

“God created Arrakis to train the faithful.” “Dune” by Frank Herbert Dune is one of those classics of literature, especially of the sci fi genre, that I have been sadly underexposed to.

Being officially in May, both the weather and minds turn toward distinctively spring-like inclinations. Sunny skies, blooming tulips in a bright array of colours, birds chirping in the budding trees, and windows wide open to welcome in their song.

Well, it’s Sunday, and I usually don’t post on Sunday, but I figured since I missed Friday, I would make up for it by posting today. Besides, it’s the start of a new month, which means a new novel, so I get to finally talk about that! The first day of a new month gets…

Today is just one of those days where, try as I might, I cannot think of anything to write about in this blog. So I finally decided that I’d give up the attempts to form a coherent postulation on a particular topic, and just write about how I don’t know what to write about today.…

The end of the month is approaching so, as I try to finish both my page requirements for April’s novel and the book I’m closest to finishing for the 100 Books Project, my brain turns toward what May’s novel will be about, as well as trying to think of topics to babble about until I…

“The best time for planning a book is while you’re doing the dishes.” –Agatha Christie I love this quote. I was thinking of doing a character study post for today, building off of yesterday’s musings on my current lack of male main characters lately, but when I came across this quote, I knew I had…

I came to an interesting realization the other day, as I was thinking about possible blog topics and my current body of works in progress. I have been working on an awful lot of female-based things lately. As I was setting up my tags for this post, even, I noticed the female characters tag and…
